Perodua models

3 Perodua models have a page of their own. The most common is the Perodua Myvi, with 1,504 licensed: 77.2% of all Perodua cars on the road. The totals above also count models too small for a page of their own.

Perodua models with their own page, most licensed first
Model Licensed Change on a year SORN Main fuel MOT pass rate
Myvi 1,504 −11.9% 195 Petrol 68.7%
Kelisa 240 −20.0% 172 Petrol
Kenari 174 −21.3% 161 Petrol

MOT pass rates are first-time passes of cars aged three and over in 2025. A dash means too few tests, or a model DVSA’s records do not separate from vans.

Models mostly registered as vans are left out, as on our recalls hub. A recall applies to vehicles built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Perodua. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check. How we match recalls to models.
